Message: <blockquote data-quote="keterys" data-source="post: 4696951" data-attributes="member: 43019">There are several posts on the subject on this board, but for an easy example - monsters at level 30 have Defense of around 42, while a level 1 has around 13 (the huge math thread from back in the day of all MM monsters supports this). A caster who starts with an 18 stat, adds 1 every opportunity and does not take demigod ends up with (15 + 6 (enh) + 8 (stat) = +29) or needing a 13, while a 1st level character has +4 so needs a 9, or a difference of 4.That said, it is easier as you get higher level to inflict penalties to AC and defenses, or gain bonuses to your own attacks (combat advantage in particular), so the ongoing debate has been whether attack bonuses were screwed up or intentionally allowed to slip several points to make those other powers required to catch up.The answer is apparently now available.The real problem I have is that as a feat it's _ridiculously_ good. If you're 26th level and don't have this, you're crazy. Doesn't matter what class you are (16th and you're just foolish, 6th and you might have more interesting other options even if likely not better ones).</blockquote>
